Platinum is fine for longitivity. But since copper conducts electricity better than platinum, you'll get more spark with copper

I have a set of Rapid Fire's brand new I'll sell ya cheap. You pay shipping... I also have a set of Split Fires, but their not platnum. New also. If anyone wants them I'll sell them to you for $1.25/ea.
Think I'll make a seperate post if you don't want them.

I asked this in LT1 tech, and had a few people recomend Platinum 4's, but most recomended the TR55's. They are also cheaper than the Bosch blugs, so I got em...
Installing them is another thing....
Anyone around here mind helping me do it for not too much?
First (most accessable) plug seems to be stuck. I didn't want to over torque it...but I damn near did a pull up on the socket wrench trying to get it out...
Any advice?
